I began my college education at UW-Marathon County, fresh out of a local high school. It was an opportunity to reduce tuition cost and get a great start on my education. Little did I know that UWMC would also be my educational capstone.

I chose to attend UW-Manitowoc because I could save money by living at home while keeping my two part-time jobs. The small class sizes and one-on-one attention from exceptional instructors helped me excel. After earning a B.S. in Chemistry from Carroll University and a Ph.D.

During college, I started working as a nursing assistant and loved it, and that's what prompted me to eventually pursue nursing. With the trend in nursing right now, if I were ever to move out of the state or even change institutions, I would need a BSN to be competitive in the hiring process.

Earning a bachelor's degree in nursing never appealed to me before because with work and family, I was too busy. My work hours fluctuated between days and nights. I needed something that was flexible enough to work with my life. I'm motivated, and I like doing things on my own.

I started at UW-Washington County in 1991. I was a new graduate who was working full time to support my educational pursuits. The community of educators and administrators at UWWC was exceptional - and encouraged me to further academic pursuits. I'm still in touch with some of them.

The University of Wisconsin Colleges and University of Wisconsin-Extension may be led by a single chancellor and administration, but we are united by more than our infrastructure. We share a vision of vibrant Wisconsin communities, made stronger by the pioneering spirit of their people—and access to the support, information, resources and expertise of the entire University of Wisconsin.
